Abstract
Objective
To analyze the relationship between the abdominal fat and the progress of carotid atherosclerosis in the subject ageing 51-100 years.
Methods
140 subjects receiving health examination in the department of health of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2015 to 2016 were included in the research. The abdominal fat area and distribution were calculated according to abdominal CT, and the progress of atherosclerosis in carotid artery was determined by ultrasound.
Results
In the population of 51-100 years old, there were no statistically significant difference in abdominal fat area and distribution among carotid artery plaque thickening group, arteriosclerosis non-progressing group and plaque reducing group; In the population of 51-80 years old, the total abdominal fat was significantly higher in carotid artery plaque thickening group than in arteriosclerosis non-progressing group and plaque reducing group (P=0.05, P=0.03), abdominal visceral fat area also increased, but no significant difference was found (P>0.05), and no significant differences in abdominal fat distribution was found (P>0.05.
Conclusion
The less total area of abdominal fat is, the slower the progress of atherosclerosis in carotid artery is in the population of 51-80 years old.
Key words:
Carotid atherosclerosis; Visceral fat; Subcutaneous fat; Obesity
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition was founded in 1993. It is the first professional academic journal (bimonthly) in my country co-sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences to disseminate information on clinical nutrition support, nutrient metabolism, the impact of nutrition support on outcomes and "cost-effectiveness", as well as translational medicine and nutrition research. It is also a professional journal of the Chinese Medical Association's Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Branch.
The purpose of the Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition is to promote the rapid dissemination of knowledge on nutrient metabolism and the rational application of parenteral and enteral nutrition, focusing on the combination of multidisciplinary and multi-regional field investigations and clinical research. It mainly reports on nutritional risk screening related to the indications of parenteral and enteral nutrition support, "cost-effectiveness" research on nutritional drugs, consensus on clinical nutrition, guidelines, expert reviews, randomized controlled studies, cohort studies, glycoprotein and other nutrient metabolism research, systematic evaluation of clinical research, evidence-based case reports, special reviews, case reports and clinical experience exchanges, etc., and has a special column on new technologies related to the field of clinical nutrition and their clinical applications.
